32    REPEAT

Whilst on a trip to the USA I was contacted by the wonder Katrina, she had a new song coming out and wanted a line dance for it. Working with Katrina in the past with Honky Tonk Hubby I jumped at the opportunity. When I finally landed in Nashville Katrina came and visited me, and we went out to record a little video for her new song while we danced. You may notice right towards the end of the music that there could be a restart. As it is right towards the end of the song I have elected not to add it to the dance.
